How to Work with a Hostile Critical Client

Skills for Working with Some of the Most Challenging Clients We See

When a client struggles with anger, it can impact their judgment and leave them vulnerable to difficult barriers to their healing.

And when a client’s hostility and criticism is directed at you - that can be one of the most painful aspects of being a practitioner.

But to help our clients effectively resolve their anger, we have to look at the crucial role of the subcortical brain and how it affects reactivity. We need to know how anger leaves traps in the nervous system and why it suffers from the same powerful neural linking as addiction.

That’s why we’ve brought together 20 of the greatest minds in our field to help us focus on more targeted interventions for clients with anger.

. . . some dare to go the extra journey to research and educate . . .

"These NICABM series keep me afloat, in touch, on track, well trained in my field, and more personally healthy. The best aspect, though, is that I feel validated and comforted knowing that some dare to go the extra journey to research and educate, so I can walk the path to health, and can share with others."

"I live in Nova Scotia and have limited travel funds at the university at which I work. The series provided by NICABM gives me the rare opportunity to listen to the leaders in the field. As a result, I learn valuable information that would not otherwise be available to me. I benefit, my practice benefits, and most important my clients benefit from the knowledge and wisdom I gain from the series."

Having the concepts already written allows you to take notes on how you’re going to use the ideas rather than transcribing the ideas

Some people simply learn better by reading than by listening or watching

You will be able to print out and share techniques presented in the session with your patients

"I really liked being able to follow along with the transcripts as I listened...it was nice not to feel like I had to take notes. I really feel like I remember more when I both hear and see at the same time."
